JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 104 (round 36 for me ) I'm in for another round – keep plugging on! Thank you GrandmaJackie.

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 135.2 – Only 3.14 miles walked, one reason for the increase & I did over indulge yesterday. Today Is a new day!
02/08 135.8 – sigh !! 9.66 miles walked yesterday. Calories exceeded by 306 – I hit the chocolate, must leave it alone!!
02/09 DNW – away from home helping our DD & SIL move house, DD had been readmitted to hospital following contracting an infection (sepsis) after giving birth to our delightful new grandson 2 weeks ago. Luckily, she reported her raised temperature to her midwife after 24 hours and so taken back into hospital, administered IV antibiotics until the sample of her blood was used to culture the bacteria to enable the lab to produce a personally tailored cocktail of antibiotics for her. She was again discharged yesterday and the spring in her step is returning. Thank goodness it was caught early. So she was encouraged to keep her feet up whilst the rest of us did the work!! We stayed in a local Travelodge, so no weigh in this am.
02/10 135.8 – only 1.94 miles walked yesterday

. Need to get back at it today.
02/11 135.4 – 9.58 miles walked yesterday, a good day ; 887 calories under & all macros in green. It makes so much difference when I get my walking in !
02/12 135.4 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, 592 calories in credit and all other macros in green.
02/13 135 – 8.52 miles walked – lunch out with 3DS, & stayed within calories helped by light evening meal,361 calories in credit, fat 12 over, all other macros in green.
02/14 133.8 – YES!!!!! 10.41 miles walked yesterday, 943 calories in credit from calories out, all other macros well in green.
02/ 134.4 – 9.55 mikes walked yesterday. 154 calories in credit, carbs 32 over, other macros in green.
02/16 135 – storm Dennis meant no walk yesterday, but we went to a dance last night and hardly
sat down, Calories 107 in credit, but carbs 63 over. 1.6 pounds up this round, all the more reason to press on. Might get a small weather window to allow me to walk this morning, I'll get out now and catch up with posts later!

Round 104
Day: Weight / Comment

02/07: 209.8 This downward spike was due to me not feeling well the day before.
02/08: 211.2
02/09: 211.8 Obviously feeling pretty good about eating now.
02/10: 211
02/11: 210.4
02/12: 209.4
02/13: 209.2 / two days in a row under 210. It takes a long time to recover from careless holiday eating. (like Valentines day)
02/14: 212.2
02/15: 211.6 / Happy day after Valentines Day! I enjoyed the company while dining out last night, but not so much the food. I felt like I was just shoveling in the calories. I need to learn how to listen to my body.
02/16: 212.6 / so our refrigerator and freezer went on the fritz yesterday. I may have eaten some things rather than toss them out. Pretty much the “I didn’t want it to go to waste” excuse.

R 104 average = 210.9

Round 104 Just give me 10 days challenge

HW: 205

BW: 143 back in 2010 (which shows in my profile photo)
GW: 130 -140

02/03 194.6
02/07:
02/08: Will have to weigh in tomorrow.
02/09: 194.2
I found some chocolate in the freezer and I don't know why I ate it. Oh yeah, it was mint, Lindor.

02/10: 194.8 (+.6)I did get 64 oz of water in, my goal is 80. I got my 80 oz of water in today but had a training meeting that included dinner and it was pizza so had 4 slices and ginger ale. I figured why I wanted chocolate I have a nasty chest cold at the moment.

02/11: 195.8 (+1.6) Coughing should be counted as exercise. Its been nonstop for a couple of days. Figure a trip to the doctors is in order.

02/12: 192.8 (-1.8) I think it's because of this cold and I didn't eat much yesterday. MFP gave me *kitten* for such low calories. I did get my water quote in 80 oz. Spent the day on the couch sleeping and watching tv.

02/13: 191.4 (-3.2) I like the number but realize once I start eating again it will go up. My doctor told me yesterday that I have pneumonia and I just haven't had an appetite. The good thing about this is that I am not having a pre-dinner glass of wine, on day 4 so that is saving a lot of calories. I drank 64 ounces of water on Wednesday and still too much diet Pepsi. It's nice and cold. Exercise is non-existent right now.

2/14: 192 (-2.2) Feeling a bit better today so I will probably eat more

2/15: 193.2 (-1.4) Wasn't really hungry today. Even tried to think if I had a snack and I didn't. I did want wine and Doritos, bought them but didn't eat them as my stomach is off. Let's see how I finish tomorrow.

2/16: 191.8 (-2.8) Hard to believe that 10 days have passed like that. And I started late on this challenge. Looking forward to the next 10 and hopefully incorporate some exercise since I got sick. Have to eat better too. I haven't been hungry but not going for the good stuff but then I would have to cook, getting the energy back so some good meals will be posted soon. Cheers Off to Hamilton to see my daughter.

Day/Weight/Comment

2/7 - 178
Stuck to my calories in spite of a get together with home made scones. Yay!

2/8 - 178
Calories below target yesterday, and no late-night snacking. I did something to my back or hip (sharp pain over lower left back when I get up or down, or, you know, move). I can’t decide which is better for it, rest or a long walk. Ugh.

2/9 - 178
Pretty much stuck to calories, although I did sample the mocha buttercream frosting for a cake I made for a gathering today. Still in pain.

2/10 - 178.6
My bad. We had lunch at Fazoli’s so pasta and (just one!) bread stick, and I was hungry late so had a pb&j on Dave’s killer bread. So healthy but caloric. Oh well, this is life, and I have salmon and greens on line for lunch. My back is a little better, I think. New week — onward!

2/11 - 178
I’m surprised I’m back down. I had chocolate cake and some other caloric things yesterday to soothe my back. Sigh. Better choices today.

2/12 - 179
Ha, there it is, the Sunday splurge. It’s ok.

That’s okay considering the Valentine lunch at Red Lobster with DH. And I mostly stuck to grilled salmon, broccoli, and salad, though I did have the triple threat chocolate brownie. 😜

2/16 - 179
Not what I’d intended, but consideration back injury and Valentine’s Day, I’ll take it. See you in R105!

02/16 - Act: 146.2 Trend: 148.2 - Another day of eating normally! I was really hungry last night at my neighbor lady's house which I was happy about. Finally getting over the crazy stress and finding normalcy in the situation. Could've upped water more, but it was better than Friday's water consumption. Baby steps back up to goal. Neighbors did a trial of mini pecan pies (in muffin tin) and they didn't come out of the pan well, so they made a second batch to give away and kept the messy broken ones. I had two... lots of sugar but pecan pie is my absolute FAVORITE and I can't tell you the last time I had a piece. I'm rather surprised that didn't bump me up a bit, but it did fit in with my calories as dinner was very light (it was chopped cabbage and pork sausage crumbles sauteed in apple cider vinegar served over a small bed of rice -- never had it before but it wasn't bad! A lot of cabbage with just a little rice and sausage filled me right up but low on cals). Can't believe it is already Sunday! At least this week is a short one (my week with a Friday off) so I can focus on more cleaning and packing, packing and cleaning. I'm at the point I hate most... I need to do some packing to make life easier closer to move date BUT I still have to leave enough unpacked to live for the next month or so. I hate this part of moving, it's like my own moving purgatory! Oh well, it'll work itself out over the next few weeks. Just need to focus on the little bit of patience I have lol!

Previous Day's Comments

02/07 - It always makes me a bit nervous when I start a round down. The way I bounce around (and I seem to be doing that between 148.x and 149.x -- another stuck point similar to 154.x-155.x) I am scared if I start low, I'll end higher and have a gain for the round instead of a loss. Although that's okay, especially if its only small, it still messes with my head and gets me down a bit. I'm finally getting into a good mindset and down want to ruin that. I made crock pot 3-bean chili last night. First time ever making chili! We shall see how it is when it comes time to break my fast. I'm suuuuuper hungry this morning but I just brewed my coffee and hopefully that will get me through until its time to eat. I have to take my car in..again.. more $$ into this stupid thing.. only bought it for $4600 w/ tax and depending on how much today's work cost, I've invested ~$2200 in work over the last 3 weeks. Its kinda stressing me out (read: stress eating temptations) but I know if I get this job, I'll be needing a car good on gas that's reliable. And if I don't move before spring break, I'll have to have a safe car to take BF's kids down to him for spring break for all of us! Just have to survive the temptations of being in town. Especially since I'm planning on stopping at the store (amazing ad this week -- valentine's day meat deal and I need to stock up - haven't gone grocery shopping in about a month) before I head home so I don't have to waste time and gas going into town
02/08 - Was NOT expecting this. I went out to dinner last night with a friend and dinner was late, it was at a restaurant (hello, sodium!) and I had a beer (they're a taphouse, they make their own beers in the back of the restaurant and I was curious). But I will certainly take it! Gonna work on some glutes today (at home banded workouts and probably yoga) as I haven't been glute-focused and that is something my surgeon and physical therapist pushed hard for (my glutes/hips out of whack = back pain at fusion and puts me at risk for faster deterioration above it [where I already have deterioration -- don't want to speed up that process and require another fusion!]). Going to go get my lunch ready here in a bit. Going to cut my fast short as dinner was so late but I'm quite hungry. I still made it over 12 hours so I'm still getting the benefits of fasting and I'm making a conscious decision -- still working on not mindlessly eating but I'm making definite improvements! Also, would like to say that today marks 1 week since my last cigarette! BF is also trying to quit and even though we are in separate states, if he isn't smoking, I'm not. Its been so hard to quit since everyone around me smokes and I always get dragged in by those around me (I smell it, I see it, I crave it). But since we both gave up, last weekend when I saw him neither of us gave in (we are the only 2 in that friend group that used to) and I haven't spent time with my neighbor (who also said she wants to quit but its been super hard for her for the same reasons) I've been able to stay away. Saves money and my body! I still feel the hand-to-mouth motion craving but BF told me if I just push on my lips with my fingers, it helps. So far, it hasn't been perfect, but its worked well enough that I've stuck to it.
02/09 - I had a higher calorie day. Very calorie dense foods all day. I need to find a way to get more protein in without getting sick of it. I had a protein shake last night and pushed me into much higher calories so I'm quite surprised I'm not up much more than this. I like that a couple of lovely people are pushing for a 100g protein goal daily and I think I'd like to try 75g for awhile to get used to it before upping it to 100g, and then to 125g (which is a current calculated goal based on my weight -- it may change and I'll do that as I get closer to comfortable with the intake). Another lazy day before a full week of work (I really love having Fridays off, just wish it was every Friday haha)
02/10 - Late heavy dinner. It was spaghetti, but definitely ate quite late compared to normal and had more calories/sodium than I needed (but I was super hungry by that point). Boss is coming in today and he forgets to eat sometimes which means I don't get to eat at our normal lunch time due to us working together. I'd rather have a late heavy dinner and just fast longer today since it works out anyway. I'm sure this will drop off fairly quickly, especially since I can tell I'm just heavy and bloated. Started my BF trend yesterday -- I'm heavier today than I was yesterday but my body fat percentage went down today by 3%...this is why I never use the scan part of my scale. BUT this is simply to start the trend so I can report it at the beginning and end, not paying attention to the daily numbers. I wouldn't have been able to do that prior to this group as those crazy numbers would've spiraled me down and caused me to stress/emotional eat or start a crazy unhealthy diet. I'm not sure if the trend will work at all since these numbers seem so far off from my last bodpod scan (I have higher BF now than I did at 160 when I did the bodpod and yet physically, I look like I have less fat). Wish I could get another bodpod (free through the army) but not sure if they will allow veterans or if its only active duty.. I might have to check on that. Oh well, I won't know if the trending with my scale scan will work until I try it so I will give it a shot. If nothing else, I'll just have to go based on how I look/feel.
02/11 - And dropped back down like I expected it would (though shocked it dropped that low that quickly). I was so bloated (like a hard-belly bloat, not a soft fluffy bloat) last night. I did some yoga (YWA - Winter Blues and Digestion/When You Eat Too Much). Not sure how much it helped with the belly, but it definitely helped with my mental state surrounding it. I think its because I went carb-heavy last night since the chicken&rice soup wasn't thawed out by dinner (batch cooked a few weeks ago, froze half) and I only had ramen or mac and cheese available (everything else is frozen). I did have a halo orange for "dessert" and it was amazing. I'm back to being stuck on stupid when it comes to those! Better than a processed sweet treat, plus I can eat 1 or 2 and be content so portions aren't an issue. Either way, whatever I did, worked. It helped that I ate heavier/larger meal/snack at lunch and went lighter with just the ramen and halo orange for dinner. Wasn't super hungry after that, thankfully. Here's to another good day! Side note: I realized today I have to really pay attention how I place my feet on my scale. I didn't have my heel fully on the scan portion and I got 40% BF! I readjusted, did it again with my feet properly placed and I was at 33.1%, much closer to where I was yesterday. I will get this figured out. I did play with the settings on Libra and decided since I do these 10 day challenges, I will adjust my "smoothing" days to 10 days (it was at 14 days so I made it a bit more sensitive to each individual weight I input). It changed my goal date forecast from May 1st to April 6th! If that's not motivation to stay on track, I don't know what is.
02/12 - This is not accurate, though I rather like seeing the number. Its a new low, even if its a false low. I definitely forgot to eat last night. I was trying to pack what I could (they said 3-6 weeks once I accept and we'd work that date out once I start the admin stuff like background check and drug testing). I wasn't even hungry, I was just drinking my water like normal while I buzzed around my house gathering unnecessary things to pack away. Once I realized it, it was about 20 minutes before I put myself to bed and said it wasn't worth it to eat right then and face a potential tummy ache. So I had a little treat this morning so I didn't zombie until lunch. I'll resume 8hr eating window tomorrow and eat lunch/dinner as normal today. I'll call today my "feasting" day since I get to eat all day. With that, I expect a bounce up tomorrow and I'll be perfectly okay with it. Lunch and dinner planned out with leftover chicken and rice soup that finally thawed. Have a protein shake for a snack for extra protein and satiation.
02/13 - I was CONVINCED I'd be up today but I'm way down to another new low (2 days in a row?! What in the world...) I believe that is due to dehydration. I wasn't able to force myself to drink water like normal. I blame jitters and madness of everything going on. I was really carb heavy last night so I'm still quite surprised despite the water situation. Going to push water and eat normal today -- need to figure out dinner because that chicken and rice just doesn't seem appetizing (nothing wrong with it, but apparently my body and mind are teaming up against me to make me choose something else or starve rather than eat it). Oh well. I'll keep eating on it for lunch and hopefully finish it off this weekend. And maybe I'll bounce back up to a more comfortable number. This seems entirely too fast and unhealthy. Concerned its not body fat, but muscle wasting away on me
02/14 - Day 3 in a row of new lows. Still concerned. Had some wine last night but not much to eat. I was entirely too busy packing. I really only have about 4 weeks (give or take a few days for actual moving since I have to coordinate with BF) to get things in line since I'm taking the kids down for spring break beginning of March. That's 1 week less I have to pack and get things ready. Drug test should be done today (as long as I get the email I need) and hopefully also the paperwork for the background check. I won't get the "official" letter to sign affirming I accept until after drug test and background check results get back. Only then can we finalize a start date and I can coordinate moving appropriately (trying to avoid a large pay gap between the 2 since I'm already struggling and have to pay my own move down). Its been a bit stressful and I'm assuming that's why the scale is down. Once things settle down, I'll be good. Hopefully I won't gain too much back when that happens
02/15 - I'm okay with this! Last night I hung out with my neighbor and we had a little dance party and drank wine but I also was distracted from the stress and madness of my life right now to get hungry and eat dinner. Need to focus on getting water in and getting calories in for fuel so I don't slip down that slope again. Will be packing, organizing and cleaning as much as I can. My landlandy is putting my house up for rent April 1st to try to get it rented prior to the end of my lease (in November) so I'm trying to do her a favor and get this place as ready as possible as I pack and clean so she can get it up for rent and start showing it asap without a ton of work needing to be done. Its a 3 bedroom house and just me so I can clean out 2 rooms (minus the spare bed) and have those ready. Same with my spare bathroom since I don't use it myself.

OSW 382.0
RSW 260.2

Will this be the round that I leave behind the 260s for good?

2/7 – 259.2 I almost used my bounce up from last round as an excuse to overeat yesterday since it was my husband’s birthday. Instead I stuck to the plan that he and I had made and instead of the bounce I thought would come I had a loss. I’m so happy and very proud of myself for sticking to my plan. Hopefully this is finally the last of the 60s and I’ll see new lows this round.

2/8 – 259.0 I had a great day yesterday. My husband and I went out to eat and I stayed well within my plan. Plus we sat at this tiny booth, which was very nice. After that I went to get my haircut at a local spa. The hair salon is on the second floor and with the help of my cane I climbed the stairs and wasn’t winded. Last we bought some girl scout cookies and so far, I haven’t had even a single one. Though it doesn’t hurt that my husband has hidden them from me.

2/9 – 256.4 I was not expecting that, but I will gleefully take it. I’m going to hope for no to minimal bounce up from my body going wait I wanted some of that water.

2/10 – 256.4 I’m glad I didn’t see a bounce up today. Hopefully downward will be the trend for the rest of the round. I did find the thin mints yesterday, but I kept myself to only two of them with my lunch. My very helpful husband discovered that they were left out of the cabinet and ate the rest of the sleeve for me. Apparently, he also ate all the lemon ups, and the tagalongs by himself just so that I couldn’t be tempted by them, or so he claims. On the plus side there are no more girl scout cookies left in the house to tempt me.

2/11 – 256.6 I had a high carb and sodium day yesterday so I’m glad the bounce is minimal. My husband was annoyed and puzzled that he was up this morning. I reminded him gently that cookies eaten for someone else still count.

2/12 – 255.8 I managed two outside walks yesterday, one of them with my son, but he got a little too cold, so we cut it short. I’ve come to really enjoy the walks I get outside, especially the ones with my husband, they have been one of the biggest nsvs of my weight loss. I cannot wait for the weather to be nice enough for me to be outside nearly daily.

2/13 – 255.8 Apparently the pattern of this round is drop hold, drop hold. Still better than gains though.

2/14 – 257.0 One word, pizza. It’s okay though I knew this whole weekend would be odd and my weight would bounce around. Today I’m baking cookies with the kids and have a sensible dinner out planned. I just have to stay on plan and I should see the water start to go after the weekend.

2/15 – 258.2 I had a nice Valentines day, my husband got me roses and a necklace. I made cookies with the kids and stayed mostly on plan with those. Dinner was in plan, but the sodium in what I had was very high as was the carbs. I’ll see a downturn either tomorrow if I’m lucky or early next round.

2/16 – 257.8 Back in the right direction.

TRL -2.4 pounds

@CamandJarvis All things considered, you need to take care of your needs first. I would give short notice even if it was only a couple of days. Qualify for the bonus - you don’t need the added stress.

Edit: Just read Mike’s (@eyesopennow) message and agree

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 162.2 lbs

02/08163.0 lbs

02/09 163.8 lbs. This is day three of major back pain and in order to medicate every three hours for some pain relief, I had to give up on intermittent fasting and my calorie goal was more like 1200 to 1500 the last couple days instead of 900 for loss. Plus only about 4000 steps a day. Thus the increase. Today it's a little better going to try to medicate less so I can meet a calorie goal of 1200 or less but steps are still going to be limited.

02/10 164 lbs Back is better but not great. around 1200 calories but only got 5500 steps in. Managed IF for 16 hours. Going to force the walking even with the shooting pain down my leg. I have babied it all weekend and it has made no difference. This is so discouraging. Obviously if I can't move than I can't eat.

02/11162.8 lbs I didn't medicate and calories were 808. Steps 12,800. Enough of this gaining business. Back is allowing more mobility, doesn't like sitting, so I worked on sandwiching my grandson's quilt together. Thankful our table is at bar height table so not much bending. I am going to work on hand quilting it as long as my back can take it.

02/12 161.8 lbs Calories 1005, steps 9,500. Back is still pinching, I am going to be so out of shape. But I did work 30 minutes on the quilt top than 15 minutes I had to move and than come back. So glad I have a project to work on. Or I would just be shoveling in the comfort food.

02/13 160.6 lbs Calories 707, steps 11,000 Back remains unchanged. At least this not being able to stay in one spot for long is getting in my steps, I just wish I could actually stride out and walk for a distance.

02/14 162 lbs Happy Valentine's Day!

02/15161.2 lbs Calories 578 steps 10,000. Ugh! I thought the back was on the mend and now it's "back" with a vengeance of pain. But I am getting under 161 this round. I have been hanging just above it for two rounds now. Enough.

02/16 160.6 lbs Calories 1200, steps 10,000

Ended round -.8 lbs. That's great considering my back pain and I really want to loose about a pound a week but I have been here before and hope I don't bounce back up.

@CamandJarvis That cabbage and sausage sounds a lot like “Egg roll in a bowl.” Easy to make and filling but since I’m low carb we skip the rice. I’ve made it with ground pork, ground beef or chopped leftover chicken. Always good - even for lunch the next day!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 104
